London Chess Classic guest of honour Viktor Korchnoi’s first of two simuls was a great success last night as ‘Viktor the Terrible’ scored 21 wins, four draws and one loss. Jamie Morgan was the winner with a 21 move victory in a Benko Gambit.
The simul went on until 22:30 and the last few games had to be speeded up and eventually adjudicated. A full report, with games, will appear in a CHESS magazine soon.
Tonight’s simul will now start at 18.30 instead of the previously advertised 19:00.
